IRC-Chess is a software tool that enables a 2-player chess game on IRC, transforming a computer into an IRC chess bot.
The IRC-Chess project is a Java-based 2-player chess game designed for IRC. Essentially, this software can turn a computer into an IRC chess bot that links up players who communicate with the bot using standard IRC commands. The best part is that players don't require special software to play.
The IRC-Chess project comes with frontend scripts that interface with the Java chess server. It's these frontend scripts that convert the IRC client into a chess bot. Note that frontend scripts have already been crafted for IRSSI and X-Chat, so no work is required. The scripts are practically identical, with only a few client-specific additions.
If you're wondering how to port the IRC-Chess software to other IRC clients, don't fret. The Java chess server is the brains behind this program, while the frontend scripts are merely responsible for displaying the data. Since the client script will be relatively quick, simple and contain no code specific to the game being played, porting the game should be a simple process.
To make things even better, the IRC-Chess project comes with a PROTOCOL file that describes what needs to be done in detail. Requirements include jdk-1.3 or a greater version, while the initial release has been designed to a tee. If you're keen to try out this chess game software, we highly recommend giving this one a go!
